Seashell Tilda

Hello everyoneWe had an excellent day yesterday. My son got 3 grade Cs so he is off to college to study gaming art in September. I'm so proud of him.Moving on to today's card. It is a bit more summery than those of late and uses a Magnolia stamp called Seashell Tilda and more of the First Edition Summer breezes paper pad. It should be chocolate and a teal blue but the colours haven't come out very well in the photo -

It has been coloured with the following Promarkers -

dress, bow and flipflops - mint green, soft green and grey green

hair - caramel, chestnut and terracotta

skin - satin, blush, sunkissed pink and pastel pink

bucket - salmon pink, dusky rose and antique pink

shells - pastel pink and coral

sand - gold and sandstone

sky - powder blue

I cut out the image using the oval die from Spellbinder's Filigree delight and inked whilst still in the die using tumbled glass distress ink. I mounted the image onto Spellbinder's Filigree delight and added pearls to the die cut. I also added some faux stitching with a brown micron pen to the oval and the base die cut. I used an EK Success border punch to make the border and matted the whole thing onto a scalloped card blank.Thanks for stopping by.Lesley

About Me

Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Lesley and I have been crafting all my life. I started sewing and knitting at a very young age and in 1997 I started creating cards with machine embroidery. In 2009 I discovered stamping and have become well and truly hooked. Now I enjoy all types of paper craft but my passion is stamping and colouring.
